FOOTNOTES:
[1] There has recently appeared from the press of Small, Maynard &
Company, publishers of Boston, Mass., an English version of “Art”
by Auguste Rodin, containing 106 illustrations in halftone and
photogravure.
It is a most important contribution to the literature of “Art” by one
of the greatest living sculptors. It covers practically the whole
range of art and abounds in the analyses of the works of the masters
of painting and sculpture, ancient and modern.
[2] It will be recalled that the Portuguese navigator, Antonio
Galvão, as early as 1528, proposed to Charles V, that interoceanic
communication be opened across the Isthmus of Panama and that in
1550, he is said to have published a book to demonstrate that such
a canal could be constructed at Tehuantepec Nicaragua, Panama or
Darien. In 1551 Francisco Lopez de Gómara urged Philip II of Spain
to proceed with the undertaking without delay. (See Francisco Lopez
de Gómara Hist. Gen’l. Lib. 4, Cap. 14, Larousse Encyclopædic
Dictionary. Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th Edition, vol. xx., pp.
666-667.)
[3] Dr. David Sherwood Kellogg made a collection of 2,500 chipped
stone implements from the shores at Ticonderoga, Wright’s Point and
Orwell. He also collected at Fort Ticonderoga 575 wrought flints in
one day. See his Paper read before the Vermont Historical Society
entitled “Early mention of some events and places in the valley
of Lake Champlain,” published in the Proceedings of the Vermont
Historical Society for 1901-1902.
